Done with Searching

Today I finished my research stage (yes it’s kinda late to be doing that with a little over a week left until this is due), at least I think so. I slightly want to say I’m not done researching because I only looked up a small bit of information so I could be able to define the “modern American and use that to help me come up with an accurate and symbolic name to call them (er, us I guess, I’m kinda a part of that group of people). This wasn’t very deep research about specific American culture traits and I would like to have used census information that isn’t 7 years old (the country sure has grown since then).

So after I finished my research I went on ahead and typed up a draft for what is defined as the “modern American.” I plan to write another draft after I finish typing this and after a couple or so drafts ask some other people about what they think and revise it again. What I’ve got so far is typed below as follows:

The modern American is an (currently) unnamed ethnicity that consists of people who are the descendants of those who lived in the country for at least four generations from somewhere in direct family heritage by at least one family branch. These people value freedoms in many aspects of their life as stated by the United States Constitution. They have a tendency to eat meals outside of their homes about a third of the time, dress in unique and usually comfortable styles, and about a fourth of the population can speak more than one language. These people come from a variety of different backgrounds though a majority of them have some trace of “white” blood in them.
